DISASSEMBLY
5.1
PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY
1.
Before disassembling the hoist, read and follow all the safety rules of this manual and related equipment used with the
Handihoist. Failure to do this can lead to equipment damage and/or serious personal injury.
2.
Ensure that the platform is not supporting any load before proceeding.
3.
Before dismantling, attach a tie rope to hold the platform in position at the base of the track.
4.
Ensure the track is securely tied to the roof with a rope fastened to a cross tie or top bracket to prevent track from
slipping.
5.
Check carefully for proximity of power lines or other overhead obstructions.
WARNING:
WEAR HEAVY LEATHER GLOVES WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE. INSUFFICIENT HAND
PROTECTION WHEN HANDLING WIRE ROPE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
6.
Tie a safety line at least 5 feet long to the wire rope end to prevent any accidental drawing of the operator’s hand into
the winch during rewinding.
7.
SLOWLY
turn the handwheel clockwise to rewind the wire rope. Ensure that the wire rope is rewinding evenly on
the drum. As the wire rope end approaches the drum, handle the wire rope only by the safety line.
8.
When the wire rope end reaches the drum, stop turning the handwheel and remove the safety line. Anchor the wire
rope end on the drum with a light rope or tape.
9.
Remove the handwheel from the Handihoist. Remove the lock pins from the holes provided. Then remove the
Handihoist from the cross ties.
